Review of City Island (2009) by Luke M — 13 Oct 2010
Andy Garcia champions a wickedly quirky black comedy that is brilliantly written and cast to perfection. The secrets and lies of the Bronx based Rizzo family are deftly intertwined in a film that is as far from Hollywood as City Island itself.
Bitter sweet and jam packed with pathos, you'll laugh, cringe, and cheer as the Rizzo's dysfunctions unravel before your eyes. Just when you think all is lost in a swamp of deceit, the Rizzo's undercurrent love and honesty soars to the surface to save a family in crisis.
"Being in prison and not being able to smoke? That's like being in jail.".
